However, it appears that is all set to change as during yesterday's analyst briefing, Nintendo confirmed it will in fact be released in 2014 along with Super Smash Bros. and Yoshi's New Island.

There's no specific date set for any of 2014's releases, but considering Mario Golf: World Tour was penciled in for Summer 2013 it shouldn't be too late in the year.

It's set to be the most expansive Mario Golf title to date and features online communities that will house global golfing tournaments. It seems Nintendo is still doing some fine tuning on the game and has pushed it back as a result.

What are your thoughts on this? Are you disappointed Mario Golf: World Tour won't be available this Summer? Let us know in the comment section below.
